Everyone noticed the group of people heading over.

The officer led his men and came over to Ye Li’er as he said with a serious expression, “Miss Ye Li’er, I am under the Prince’s orders to bring you back.”

Even though Ye Li’er was a little scared, she was unwilling to leave if she did not make Zi Yi and the rest embarrass themselves. In the end, she said, “I’m not leaving.”

The officer seemed to have anticipated that response from her and he took out his phone. “If Miss Ye Li’er refuses to leave with me, I can only give the Prince a call.”

He started tapping on the phone.

“You’re not to call,” Ye Li’er screamed and she said reluctantly, “I’ll wait for them to finish cutting the raw stone and leave right away. Would this suffice?”

Ye Li’er had a twisted thought deep down inside, “Even if I am unable to do anything to Lu Jingye and the rest, at the very least, I have to see them open up the raw stone and find a pile of waste materials inside.”

The officer could not possibly bring Ye Li’er away by force. After hearing her compromise, he did not say anything else, and it could be considered as acquiescing.

The cutting of the stones continued.

​​Lu Jingye’s side was originally rather empty. However, with Ye Li’er refusing to leave and coupled with a group of guards, everyone ended up circling around him.

The person who was the focus of attention, however, did not get anxious or speed up. He cut whatever should be cut, ground whatever needed to be grounded and when one of the sides revealed a green color, many of the spectators gasped.

“Emperor green jade!”

“No way! To think that an emperor green jade would come out from this stone?”

“Perhaps only the surface is green and the entire inside is just ordinary stone.”

Even though the bosses present were individuals who had seen all sorts of situations, they still felt that it might just be the surface that is green, after they saw the emperor green jade color from the stone Lu Jingye was working on.

Bu Di who was standing next to Zi Yi widened his eyes and he was also in disbelief. “Zi, you really choose a piece of stone with the emperor green jade?”

“Didn’t I say it earlier?” Zi Yi calmly looked at Lu Jingye slowly sanding down the surface and she deliberately said, “My luck is just so good and there’s nothing I can do with it. Any random piece of raw stone I have selected has produced a top-grade mineral.”

Speaking of this, Zi Yi purposely looked at Ye Li’er who at that moment had a dark expression.

She said with a smile, “Ye Li’er, you robbed us of so many raw stones, so do you want to open one too? Oh, I think you had better not do so. Everyone knows that we were randomly choosing the stones at the end and if you really did open them and end up with a pile of waste material, wouldn’t it be extremely embarrassing for you?”

Ye Li’er was fuming with anger. She tried her best to control her emotions but failed to do so ultimately, as she ended up screaming, “Zi Yi, you had better not be smug. It’s obvious that this green is only surface-level deep and I’d like to see how badly you will lose because of that billion-dollar stone.”

Bu Di said, “Lose? How could Zi Yi possibly lose money? Sang Bo and I gave this piece of stone to Lu and Zi. Even if the emperor green jade is only surface deep, she won’t lose any money.”

“You… you…” Ye Li’er was so angry that she was short of breath and nearly fainted.

The officer standing next to her saw her condition and said out of kindness, “Miss Ye Li’er, we should leave.”

Similar to poking a hornet’s nest, Ye Li’er instantly exploded. “I’m not leaving. I must see them breaking the stone apart!”

With Ye Li’er’s words, all the bosses were disinterested in what minerals they could get from their stones. All of them were paying attention to the stone Lu Jingye was working on.

All their gazes moved up and down as they followed the sanding paper. In the end, they even forgot to breathe.

When all three sides revealed the color of emperor green jade, the majority of them subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

Just then Bu Di was so excited that his voice had changed. “It’s a great increase. It’s emperor green jade! This piece is at least the size of a football!”

“Sii-”

Sounds of air sucking in could be heard.

Everyone was jealous.

“Isn’t their luck too good?”

“To think that they managed to get such a large piece of emperor green jade.”

“Just the unprocessed jade can sell for a billion.”

“If it is made into jewelry, it would be worth at least more than a few billion.”

Even though they were jealous, they would not do anything to Lu Jingye.

Ye Li’er felt her head buzzing at the sight of the emperor green jade.

She never imagined that the person she hated could possibly obtain such a large piece of emperor green jade.

“Impossible!” Ye Li’er emotions went over the tipping point. “It’s fake, it’s all fake!”

Having said that, she was about to rush over and smash the emperor green jade.

However, the moment she started to move, the officer standing next to her quickly grabbed her arm.

The officer then reminded her. “Miss Ye Li’er, you are the daughter of the Prince, please pay attention to your image.”

Ye Li’er’s body trembled at his words. The next second, she started crying loudly.

She had gone all out, so why was the ending like this?

The officer saw Ye Li’er crying uncontrollably and brought her away immediately without further delay.

After the group of people left, everyone else that remained understood that they could not afford to offend Lu Jingye. As a result, all of them congratulated him.

Lu Jingye finally shifted his attention away from the raw stone and looked up at the crowd.

His eyes revealed wisdom and as he stood there, the feeling he gave off was similar to what others had experienced in the past. Noble, unique, and unattainable.

Who said that he was nothing without his status as the President of Lu Group?

He was obviously the king of the business industry. They could only fear and rely on him.

Zi Yi asked Lu Jingye, “Ah Jing, are we continuing?”

Lu Jingye turned away and the crowd somehow relaxed. They heard him speaking in the calmest tone, “No need. We’ll buy the stones and leave right away.”

The departure Lu Jingye meant was them leaving Country Em.

Following that, Lu Jingye purchased all the raw stones produced by Sang Bo’s mine and announced that they would be working together. In the future, Sang Bo’s mine would only supply jadeite to Song Jewelry.

Everyone was surprised.

As it turns out, while they were planning and getting ready to deal with Lu Jingye, he had already found a supplier.

He had no intention of buying a jadeite mine in the first place!

When the large trucks Lu Jingye brought along with him drove away with the raw stones dug out from Sang Bo’s mine, many of the mine owners felt their intestines turn green.

“I have a hunch that under Mr. Lu’s management, Song Jewelry will soon rise to the top three rankings of the international jewelry industry.”

“I should have privately contacted him before, so we could work together! It would definitely have been profitable if I had worked together with him.”

“Isn’t Sang Bo too lucky?”

…

No matter what emotions the crowd had, Zi Yi and the group had already returned to the villa.

After they came back, Lu Jingye and Sang Bo headed to the study room to talk about things.

Zi Yi and Bu Di sat on the sofa.

“Zi, are you really planning to leave today?” Bu Di revealed a reluctant expression. “You managed to get such a top-grade mineral and we should have held a banquet in a high-profile manner.”

Zi Yi casually said, “And give that group of people a chance to curry up to Ah Jing?”

Bu Di choked and tried to persuade her again. “Even if we do not hold a banquet, you can still stay here for another day or two. I haven’t brought you and Little Loli to a gay bar to enjoy yourselves yet.”

Zi Yi looked at him speechlessly. “I’m not interested in those places. You’re welcome to visit the capital in the future. I will invite you to my bar, it’s so much more fun than the gay bar you mentioned.”

“Really?’ Bu Di’s eyes brightened and his attention was immediately shifted away. “In that case, Sang Bo and I shall visit you in the near future.”

Zi Yi nodded her head. “You’re welcome to come over.”
